No one knows how the clouds move or how the thunder roars through the sky, where God dwells.

It was I who covered the sea with clouds and wrapped it in darkness.

Who is wise enough to count the clouds and tilt them over to pour out the rain,

Then God commanded, "Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two separate places"---and it was done. So God made a dome, and it separated the water under it from the water above it.

(SEE 1:6)

He brings storm clouds from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the storms, and he brings out the wind from his storeroom.

Have any ever mastered heavenly knowledge? Have any ever caught the wind in their hands? Or wrapped up water in a piece of cloth? Or fixed the boundaries of the earth? Who are they, if you know? Who are their children?

At his command the waters above the sky roar; he brings clouds from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning flash in the rain and sends the wind from his storeroom.

Lightning flashes from the clouds,

God sends rain to water the earth; he may send it to punish us, or to show us his favor.

Do you know how God gives the command and makes lightning flash from the clouds?

He flew swiftly on his winged creature; he traveled on the wings of the wind.

He covered himself with darkness; thick clouds, full of water, surrounded him.

I will let it be overgrown with weeds. I will not trim the vines or hoe the ground; instead, I will let briers and thorns cover it. I will even forbid the clouds to let rain fall on it."
